IMO, not derailing, all about bicycles! No, on the first, and Yes on the second.
I hope I am wrong on the first one, but I am quite sure you CAN'T TAKE full size bikes on the Marc rail at anytime. I will check today.
However, here is the route I found to be able to take a full size bike from Baltimore to DC and visa versa.
Light Rail in Baltimore to BWI transfer point. The Light Rail makes two stops at BWI. The BWI transfer point is the one right before the terminal stop.
There one can board the B30 Metro Bus, which has a bike rack on the front, to GreenBelt. At Greenbelt board a Metro to DC. Some has even told me that you can get a B30 or similiar Metro bus right into DC.
